WRAP Waste and Resources Action Programme Annual Monitoring Report 2013-14 Kent County Council i i i Executive Summary Executive i.0.1 The Kent Annual Monitoring Report (AMR) documents the progress made in preparing Kent’s Minerals and Waste Local Plan (KMWLP) against the timetable set out in the Kent Minerals and Waste Development Scheme (MWDS) and monitors the data that forms the basis for Kent’s emerging mineral and waste planning policies Summary and planning decisions. Upon adoption of the new Kent Minerals and Waste Local Plans, future AMRs will also monitor the effectiveness of their policies. This report is the tenth Monitoring Report, covering 2013/2014. It sets out the most up to date information available for the following:
The progress of the Kent Minerals and Waste Local Plans against the latest MWDS timetable;
The mineral and waste activity data for Kent, and
The co-operation on plan making activities with other local authorities and prescribed bodies.
Mineral Activity Monitoring i.0.2 The aggregate sales in Kent during 2013 from all sources amounted to some 4.9mt. This was contributed to from increases in the overall land-won aggregate sales (by approx.15,000 tonnes), a notable recovery of crushed rock sales at wharves (20.8% increase) and rail depots (20.7%), in comparison to the 2012 monitoring year. However, compared to the previous monitoring year sales fell at secondary and recycled aggregate sites (-14%) and the quantity of imported sand and gravel declined at both wharves (-13.2%) and rail depots (-1%). Overall, the trends in aggregate sales seen in recent years have continued; sales of land-won sand and gravel continues to decline as they have over the last ten years with an increasing proportion of Kent’s aggregate needs met by sales of imported minerals. i.0.3 Significant additional Kentish Ragstone (crushed rock) reserves were permitted during 2013 through an extension to an existing site. This more than secures the ability of Kent to maintain a 10 year landbank of reserves at any one time over the life of the Kent MWLP 2013-30. Overall the County Council meets the national planning policy requirements for construction aggregates landbanks. If both soft and the more scarce sharp sands and gravel are combined, an overall sands and gravel 7 year landbank can be maintained. Sharp (or flint) sands and gravel have limited reserves. If considered separately the required maintained 7 year landbank of 5.67mt in any one year is not being achieved. The currently permitted reserves amount to some 3.61mt, sufficient for 4.62 years at a rate of extraction of 1.43mt per annum (the 10 years average sales figure). i.0.4 There are four permitted landbanks of clay and brickearth with remaining reserves in Kent. These have a combined landbank of over 25 years, meeting national policy requirements. One of the three Kent silica sand sites does not currently meet ii Kent County Council Annual Monitoring Report 2013-14
the requirement of maintaining a 10 year landbank of reserves per site at existing sites, although a late representation to the Kent MWLP 2013-30 Examination states that some 4mt reserves at the Aylesford site is now un-viable. This will be considered further at the Plan’s forthcoming Examination. While there are no active cement
Summary quarries in Kent, there is a consented quarry with over 25 years of reserves adjacent to the permitted, but unconstructed Holborough Cement works. Kent’s chalk reserves for agriculture and engineering purposes, on the basis of the 2013 rate of sales at five active sites, have an indicative permitted landbank of 19.4 years of chalk reserves at the end of 2013; alternatively a calculation based on the average rate of chalk
Executive sales between 2011 and 2013 would indicate a landbank figure of 14.5 years. i Waste Activity Monitoring
i.0.5 There has been a minor increase in the arisings of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) (1.28%) (now Local Authority Collected Waste (LACW)) for the first time in recent years, in contrast to the downward trend since 2009/10. The dominant methods of management for MSW continued to be recycling and composting (46%) and energy recovery (37%). Diversion of MSW from landfill continued to increase, reaching its highest level to date at 82.5% of all MSW. In 2013, the County Council had already met the updated targets of the Kent Joint Municipal Waste Management Strategy (KJMWMS) for recycling/composting rates of at least 45% by 2015/16 and is making good progress towards the 2015/16 landfill diversion target of 90%.
i.0.6 There is no regular data available on the annual arisings of Construction, Demolition and Excavation (CD&E) and Commercial & Industrial (C&I) materials. For purposes of the preparation of the MWLP 2013-30 it is assumed that no growth occurs in CD&E waste arisings. This is in line with past forecasting and national guidance. The most recent national survey of C&I waste arisings was conducted for the year of 2009 for DEFRA. Estimates of C&I waste arisings will be produced on an annual basis in future years to support the monitoring requirements of the Plan once adopted.
i.0.7 The waste import and export levels in Kent were notably affected by the Crossrail Tunnel Project in London. Over a million tonnes of London waste arising from the tunnelling operations were imported to a temporary transfer station in Northfleet, with half of this material recorded as being exported for recovery at a site in Essex. Otherwise movements of waste continued between Kent and London, the south-east and the east of England, with much smaller proportions travelling further afield to other Waste Planning Authorities (WPAs) in England and Wales. Overall, Kent is still a net importer of waste. Imports were nearly 800,000 tonnes higher than exports in 2013/14.
i.0.8 In terms of Kent’s MSW, only 14.5% of Kent’s MSW arisings were managed outside of the county in 2013/14. All of Kent’s energy recovery is managed in Kent and high proportions of green waste and landfill waste are managed within the county, 99.6% and 71% respectively. Annual Monitoring Report 2013-14 Kent County Council iii i i.0.9 Capacity for waste management within the County increased during the Executive monitoring period with an additional 8 planning permissions for waste management development. Permitted non landfill capacity increased by 2.6 million tonnes (mt), providing some 15mt active within the county in 2013/14. Notably, there were significant increases in capacity towards the top of the waste management hierarchy
in composting/anaerobic digestion and MSW and C&I recycling, plus a significant Summary increase in waste transfer due to the Crossrail project wastes. There were marginal decreases in the capacity of CD&E Recycling/Aggregate Recycling, Metal/End of Life Vehicles (ELV) Facilities and Incineration/Energy Recovery capacity. These are not considered significant enough to affect Kent’s ability to manage waste arisings and imports.
Kent Minerals and Waste Local Plans i.0.10 Excellent progress was made on the preparation of the strategic local plan, the Kent MWLP 2013-30. Following consultation on the Draft Plan, the County Council agreed that the Plan should be submitted to the Secretary of State for public Examination. The Plan was submitted in November 2014. An independent Planning Inspector, Jonathan G King has been appointed and a public Examination Hearing is scheduled for April 2015. The timeframe for the latter stages of the plan making process will need to be reviewed in accordance with the Examination progress. Progression of the Site’s Plans will recommence when the MWLP 2013-30 has been examined and an additional ‘Call for Sites’ in advance of any further public consultation has been included in the revised Minerals and Waste Development Scheme. i.0.11 The County Council has continued to comply with the requirements under the Localism Act’s Duty to Co-operate (DtC) by actively engaging and working with key stakeholders in the development of the MWLP in 2013/14. This has been mainly through the formal consultation on the Pre-Submission (January 2014) and Submission (July 2014) drafts of the Plan. Representations were invited from a wide body of interests, including Kent district authorities, neighbouring authorities, parish councils and prescribed bodies under the statutory duty to co-operate, as well as the mineral and waste industry, local business and interest groups and members of the public. i.0.12 Engagement with other local authorities and key groups on cross boundary minerals and waste issues has continued through participation in working group meetings, including the South East England Aggregate Working Party (SEEAWP), South East Waste Planning Advisory Group (SEWPAG), Nuclear Legacy Advisory Forum (NuLeAF) and the South East 7. Proactive targeted engagement on specific issues also took place with East Sussex and Essex County Councils. Survey work on cross boundary movements of minerals and waste was finalised, concluding that there was no major supply or capacity issues. iv Kent County Council Annual Monitoring Report 2013-14
Conclusion
i.0.13 Overall, the monitoring data illustrates the aggregate supply and waste management capacity within the County for 2013/14. It forms the basis for Kent’s emerging mineral and waste planning policies and planning decisions. The AMR Summary also tracks plan making progress against the latest Kent MWDS timetable and the co-operation on plan making activities with other local authorities and stakeholders.

1 Setting the Scene Setting
1.1 Introduction
The Kent Minerals and Waste Local Plan the
1.1.1 Kent County Council (KCC) is responsible for waste management and Scene minerals planning in the Kent administrative area (i.e. excluding the Medway Council area); the County Council is required to produce a new Minerals and Waste Local Plan to progressively replace the saved policies of the existing Minerals and Waste Local Plans.(1) The new Kent Minerals and Waste Local Plan will consist of three key spatial planning documents: the lead strategic document of the Kent MWLP 2013-30 and the Kent Minerals Sites Plan and the Kent Waste Sites Plan.
1.1.2 The existing Kent Minerals and Waste Local Plans, together with the adopted Local Plans prepared by the twelve Kent district planning authorities, form the statutory development plan for Kent.
The Kent Minerals and Waste Annual Monitoring Report
1.1.3 Monitoring is an important aspect of evidence-based policy making and a statutory requirement of all Local Planning Authorities and Minerals and Waste Planning Authorities. According to the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) each LPA should ensure that their Local Plan is based on adequate, up-to-date and relevant evidence about the economic, social and environmental characteristics and prospects of the area.(2)
1.1.4 The Kent AMRs document the progress made in preparing Kent's Minerals and Waste Local Plans against the timetable set out in the Kent Minerals and Waste Development Scheme (MWDS) and monitors against the data which forms the basis for Kent's emerging minerals and waste planning policies. Once the new Plans are adopted, the Kent AMR will also monitor the effectiveness of their policies.
1.1.5 This is the tenth Kent AMR for minerals and waste planning in Kent, covering 2013/ 2014. As KCC's Minerals and Waste Local Plans are yet to be adopted, this AMR reports on the best available information for the following:
the progress of the Kent's Minerals and Waste Local Plans against the latest MWDS timetable, up to the end of December 2014;
the minerals and waste indicator data for Kent for the 2013 calendar year or the 2013/14 financial year (as available); and
1 In September 2007 a Direction from the Secretary of State approved the saving of a number of policies in the minerals and waste local plans. Schedules of saved policies are available at: http://www.kent.gov.uk/about-the-council/strategies-and-policies/environment-waste-and-planning-policies/ planning-policies/minerals-and-waste-local-plan/existing-plans 2 National Planning Policy Framework (2012), para. 158 6 Kent County Council Annual Monitoring Report 2013-14

Setting
1 1.2 County Context
1.2.1 The administrative area covered by Kent is estimated to have a population of approximately 1,493,500 people (Office for National Statistics (ONS) estimate for 2013). The County is subject to a number of planning and environmental constraints; 20% is covered by sites that are internationally or nationally important for their nature conservation value and one third of the area is covered by the Kent Downs or High Weald Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). There are significant areas within coastal or fluvial flood plains and land of high (best and most versatile) agricultural quality. Figure 1 shows the planning and environmental constraints within Kent.

Annual Monitoring Report 2013-14 Kent County Council 7 1 1.2.2 Kent is rich in minerals including chalk, clays, brickearth, ragstone, and a Setting variety of sand and gravels including silica sand. Construction aggregates (sand, gravel and ragstone) are the main types of economic mineral found and extracted in Kent. In addition, significant proportions of the minerals used in Kent are imported
via rail and wharf facilities. Minerals imported into Kent also serve the market in the London and elsewhere in the south east. A significant proportion of Kent's construction aggregate need is met by the recycling or re-use of wastes, such as that arising from Scene construction and demolition waste. Ensuring that appropriate provision is made for land-won, imported and secondary and recycled minerals is a key objective for the County Council as the Mineral Planning Authority (MPA) to meet Kent's current and future needs.
1.2.3 Large volumes of waste are produced in Kent, of which the majority falls within the Construction, Demolition and Excavation (CD&E) waste stream. Local Authority Collected Waste (LAWC), which includes household waste, (4) makes up a significantly smaller proportion of the overall waste produced and has seen a decrease in arisings in recent years. Waste requires careful management and treatment in an environmentally sustainable manner, taking into account national policy requirements such as the waste hierarchy (see Figure 2) and the need to maintain net self-sufficiency in managing the county's own waste. Kent already has a wide range of waste management facilities, from non-hazardous and inert landfills, recycling and composting facilities to energy from waste facilities. While a proportion of Kent's waste is currently sent for treatment, reprocessing or disposal outside of the county, the amounts of wastes imported into Kent are much greater more than offsetting Kent's exports; thus net self sufficiency in waste management is being achieved. Maintaining self-sufficiency in waste management and providing of waste management facilities further up the waste hierarchy are key objectives for the County Council to address as the Waste Planning Authority (WPA) for Kent.

1.3 Existing Development Plan
1.3.1 Saved policies of the following existing Minerals and Waste Local Plans currently apply to Kent until they are replaced by the new Minerals and Waste Local Plans:
Kent Minerals Subject Plan: Brickearth (adopted May 1986), covering the period to 2001.
Kent Minerals Local Plan: Construction Aggregates (adopted December 1993), covering the period to 2006.
Kent Minerals Local Plan: Chalk & Clay/Oil & Gas (adopted December 1997), covering the period to 2011.
Kent Waste Local Plan (adopted March 1998), covering the period to 2011.
1.3.2 In March 2007 the County Council applied to the Secretary of State for Local Plan policies to be saved beyond the initial three year period set out under the transitional arrangements accompanying implementation of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 (2004 Act). In September 2007 a Direction from the Secretary of State approved the saving of the majority of these policies. Schedules of the policies now saved are available online.(5) All other policies within the Kent Minerals and Waste Local Plans are no longer operative as of September 2007.

The revocation process, as established by the enactment of the Localism Act on 15 November 2011, was formally completed on 25th March 2013.(6) This regional plan was revoked with the
exception of Policy NRM6 which concerns new residential development near the the Thames Basin Heaths Special Protection Area (SPA), which is not within Kent.
However, as the RSS policies and it's evidence base were tested for soundness Scene through an Examination in Public (EIP), it does where relevant still form part of the evidence base for the Kent MWLP.

2.1.1 A LPA's monitoring report must(7) contain the following for each of local plans Local or supplementary planning documents specified in the local planning authority’s local development scheme: aste
W the timetable for the document’s preparation;
the stage the document has reached in its preparation; and and
the reasons for any delay in document preparation according to the specified timetable. Minerals The Kent Minerals and Waste Development Scheme (MWDS) the 2.1.2 The Minerals and Waste Development Scheme (MWDS) is a public statement of of the County Council's programme for the production of Minerals and Waste Plans and supporting documents. It sets out the stages against which the County Council monitors progress in its AMRs, as well as information on the status of the existing 'saved' policies from the Minerals and Waste Local Plans that remain in force.
Progress 2.1.3 The latest Kent MWDS 2010-16 was bought into effect in July 2014.(8) The 2 new Development Scheme altered the timetable of the previous scheme by:
adding dates for the Submission consultation phase of the MWLP 2013-30;
moving all future programme dates forward by approximately two months; and
adding a further 'call for sites' stage to the development of the Minerals and Waste Site Plans.
2.1.4 The MWDS 2010-16 (July 2014) sets out the timetable for the preparation of the three Kent Minerals and Waste Local Plans. The programme dates and the progress on plan preparation during the monitoring period are set out in the following Chapters 2.2 and 2.3.

2.2.1 The Kent MWLP 2013 - 2030 is the lead strategic document which describes the vision and delivery strategy for mineral provision and waste management in Kent. It includes development management policies against which proposals for minerals
and waste developments will be determined and also identifies strategic minerals of and waste sites essential for the delivery of the strategy. The Plan covers the period up to and including 2030. the
2.2.2 The dates for the progression of the Kent MWLP 2013-30 are set out in Table Minerals 1.
Progress on Plan Preparation during Monitoring Period and 2.2.3 After focusing the development of the Pre-submission document and it's supporting evidence base during 2013, the progression of the MWLP 2013-30 accelerated in 2014 and met the scheduled Development Scheme programme dates W for the Pre-submission consultation, Submission consultation and the Submission aste of the Plan to the Secretary of State. Local 2.2.4 Following the Submission of the Plan, the Examination process was temporarily suspended until 05 January 2015 whilst further information requested by the Inspector was gathered. As a result the target programme dates for stages Plan 8-9 in Table 1 could not be met; these will be subject to review in 2015.
2.2.5 The key stages in the preparation of the Kent MWLP 2013-30 met during the monitoring period are explained in more detail below.
Pre-submission Consultation: 31 January 2014 - 31 March 2014 (9)
2.2.6 The third stage of the formal consultation process on the Draft MWLP 2013-30 was open for 8 weeks and invited representations on the soundness and legal compliance of the proposed draft strategy and the draft strategic and development management policies. A total of 335 comments were received from 82 consultees consisting of statutory bodies, district, borough and parish councils in Kent, neighbouring authorities, the minerals and waste industry and members of the public.
2.2.7 Following the consultation, a Commentary Report(10) was produced that summarised and responded to the comments received. To clearly take account of consultees comments as part of the plan making process, a response was given to each individual comment plus one of the following coded categories to indicate the County Council's position on the representation received:

A summary report of the W consultation highlighting the main issues raised on the draft plan, the visions and objectives and the policies, as well as the number and nature (e.g. support/ object) and of the comments received was also complied and published.(11)
Submission consultation: 31 July 2014 - 12 September 2014 (12)
2.2.9 The fourth public consultation on the MWLP 2013-30 was a formal 6 week Minerals consultation that provided consultees with a final opportunity to make representations
the on issues relating to the soundness and legal compliance of the Kent MWLP 2013-2030, prior to the submission of the Plan to the Secretary of State. A total of of 195 representations were received from 80 representors (including late submissions).
2.2.10 At this stage in the plan making process KCC was not required to publish a response to the representations received. These representations were subsequently sent to the Planning Inspector to consider alongside the submitted Plan. However, Progress
2 a summary highlighting the main issues raised by representors was compiled and published.(13)
Submission for Examination: 03 November 2014
2.2.11 The Kent MWLP 2013-30 was submitted to the Secretary of State on 3 November 2014 for independent examination by a Planning Inspector. A Planning Inspector and Programme Officer have since been appointed.
2.2.12 The Examination will determine whether all the legal and policy requirements have been observed, and whether the Kent MWLP 2013-30 provides reasonable and effective planning responses to the issues identified. This will involve a review of the submission version of the Plan, relevant evidence and the formal representations received; all the submitted evidence and the latest documentation from the Examination is available online on a dedicated webpage on the planning policy consultation portal at: http://consult.kent.gov.uk/portal/mwcs/mwlp-eip.

2.3 Kent Minerals and Waste Site Plans
Plan 2.3.1 The Kent Mineral Sites Plan will identify mineral sites and locations for mineral extraction, processing and importation including safeguarding provisions that reflect the principles and strategy of the Kent MWLP 2013-30. This sites plan will include Local sites for sand and gravel (including building sand), crushed rock, silica sand, brickearth, chalk, clay and secondary and recycled aggregate processing. aste 2.3.2 The Kent Waste Sites Plan will identify suitable locations for a range of waste W management development based on the strategy and principles set out in the Kent MWLP 2013-30 to manage all waste streams (e.g. MSW, C&l, CD&E waste and and hazardous wastes).
2.3.3 The dates for the joint progression of the separate Sites Plans are set out in Table 2. Minerals Progress on Plan Preparation during Monitoring Period the 2.3.4 Neither of the separate Kent Minerals and Waste Site Plans were scheduled of to progress during the monitoring period. All plan making activity was focused on the progression on the strategic plan, the Kent MWLP 2013-30. The Kent MWLP 2013-30 will set out the level of resources/capacity required for the plan period, which will give an indication of the size and number of sites that would be need to be identified in the Site Plans. Progress 2 2.3.5 Due a temporary suspension of the Examination of the Kent MWLP 2013-30 following its submission to the Secretary of State on 03 November 2014, the programme dates for the progression of the Sites Plans have been affected and will be further delayed. The Development Scheme dates for the Sites Plans, set out in Table 2, will be subject to review in 2015.
2.3.6 The current Development Scheme (July 2014) recognised that a new 'call for sites' will be needed before these sites plans are progressed, given the time that has elapsed since the initial Call for Sites in 2010 and the changes within the UK economic climate during this time. A new Call for Sites stage has been included in the revised programme in Table 2, but the scheduled dates are to be reviewed.
2.3.7 The joint preparation of the separate Minerals and Waste Site Plans will only be re-commenced when the MWLP 2013-30 has been formally examined. Annual Monitoring Report 2013-14 Kent County Council 15 2 Table 2 Minerals and Waste Sites Plans Programme Progress

3 Data Monitoring
3.1 Introduction
3.1.1 Prescriptive guidance on LPA monitoring and use of national data indicators, Monitoring including the requirement to submit AMRs to the Secretary of State, were withdrawn under the Localism Act 2011. It is now down to each LPA to decide what to include
Data in their monitoring reports, whilst ensuring that they are prepared in accordance with
3 the relevant UK and EU legislation.
3.1.2 KCC still attaches importance to the former national indicators(14) used as the basis for minerals and waste monitoring in previous years, in addition to KCC's own 'local' indicators, and will continue to monitor and report on these sources of information.
3.1.3 The data indicators reported on in this AMR are set out in Table 3.
Future Data Monitoring
3.1.4 Chapter 8 of the Submission version of the Kent MWLP 2013-30 (July 2014) sets out a monitoring and implementation framework of the plan's policies which will come into force when the Kent MWLP 2013-30 is adopted. The framework identifies what are considered to be the appropriate data indicators to monitor of the effectiveness of Plan's policies. When formal adoption of the Kent MWLP 2013-30 occurs the annual monitoring of these indicators will also determine whether there is any need to undertake a review of the Plan.

3.2 Mineral Indicators
3.2.1 Production of Aggregates
This chapter reports on the aggregate (soft sand, sand & gravel and crushed rock) production (sales) from land-won and secondary/recycled sources.
Production of Primary Land-won Aggregates
3.2.1.1 The annual production (sales) of primary land-won aggregate in Kent for 2013 was approximately 1,760,000 tonnes for all sand, gravel and crushed rock,(15) An increase of around 15,000 tonnes from the position in 2012.
15 Figures rounded to preserve confidentiality of crushed rock figures. 18 Kent County Council Annual Monitoring Report 2013-14
3.2.1.2 The RSS for the South East of England (the South East Plan) Policy M3 on construction aggregates, used for policy monitoring in recent years, has now been revoked. However, the details within the 2010 proposed changes for Policy M3: Construction Aggregates,(16) together with the supporting evidence base, are still relevant and credible following testing at the South East Plan's Examination in Public. Monitoring The revised mineral supply apportionments for Kent remain generally reflective of past sales. Data 3.2.1.3 While the revised South East Plan Policy M3 required provision of a 3 landbank of at least 7 years of planning permissions for land-won sand and gravel with an apportionment of 1.63 million tonnes per annum (mtpa), the NPPF requires Mineral Planning Authorities (MPA) to prepare an annual Local Aggregate Assessment (LAA) based on a rolling average of 10 years sales data and other relevant local information, assessing all aggregate supply options.(17) Kent has produced a second draft LAA (Jan 2015) that further examines the relationship between past sales and future potential demand and options of supply beyond the present.
3.2.1.4 Figure 3 shows the trend in annual land-won sand and gravel sales in Kent over the last 10 years. This combines data for both soft sand and sharp sand and gravel into one data set per year. The sales figures for land-won crushed rock for Kent are not published in this report as there are only two sites producing crushed rock in the county; the total sales data from three or more sites are required in order to protect commercial confidentiality.

3.2.1.5 Figure 3 shows a generally stable trend in land-won sand and gravel sales between 2003 and 2007 followed by a steady decrease in sales, which continued into 2013; sand and gravel sales decreased by 17% from the 2012 sales figures. Although the initial fall was assumed to be a result of the of on-going impact economic downturn in the UK, it remains the County Council's view that the lower sales for land-won sand and gravel in recent years could be partly attributed to a growing preference for imported sand and gravel (see Chapter 3.2.3 Wharves and Rail Depots for imported aggregate sales figures). It is important to note that since 2011 operations at one of the largest sand and gravel quarries in Kent moved across the county boundary into a neighbouring authority; whilst production is continuing at that site, the aggregates produced are not extracted in Kent and therefore not counted in Kent primary aggregate sales data. Table 4 shows the average sand and gravel sales over the last three, five and ten years. The figures clearly show the sales of sand and gravel in Kent have been declining over the last 10 years.

Production of Secondary/Recycled Aggregates
3.2.1.6 According to the NPPF(18) Local Authorities should, as far as practicable, take account of the contribution that substitute or secondary and recycled materials and minerals waste would make to the supply of materials. Monitoring 3.2.1.7 As the revoked South East Plan and its evidence base are still relevant to the Kent MWLP 2013-30, the County Council is continuing to use the minimum Data production targets from Policy M2, which required Kent to make provision for the 3 sales of 1.4mtpa of secondary and recycled aggregates by the year 2020, with an increase to 1.56mtpa for the period up to 2030. Annual monitoring in 2012 indicated that the production of secondary and recycled aggregates in Kent was 774,607 tonnes, equivalent to just over half (55%) of this target. In 2013, the aggregate monitoring survey results indicated some 668,574 tonnes were produced, which represents an decrease of 14% from the 2012, which equates to just under half (48%) of the former South East Plan production target.
3.2.1.8 Table 6 shows that, aside from some minor annual variation, secondary and recycled aggregate sales have generally declined after peaking in 2007, although it could be considered that the level of secondary and recycled aggregate stabilised since 2011. Future monitoring of this indicator will be necessary to confirm this trend. Aggregate recycling capacity, and therefore sales, can fluctuate according to demand. The contribution of secondary and recycled materials to future supply is less certain than primary aggregates where geological reserves can be calculated with a degree of certainty. The construction and demolition cycle is not a definitive or predictable activity. Also the industrial processes that can give rise to secondary materials can similarly vary in response to changing economic circumstances.

3.2.1.9 The second draft LAA (January 2015) provides an assessment of the secondary and recycled aggregate productive capacity operating within Kent in 2013. This includes processing plant based on landfills used to produce materials that may be used on the landfill sites for restoration or engineering purposes. A value of 2.727mtpa overall has been calculated split between 2.099mtpa of permanent capacity and 0.628mtpa temporary capacity. Given that significant tonnages of processed material would be utilised on-site, the actual sales figures captured by the Annual Monitoring exercise would be expected to be significantly lower. This 'snapshot' value is considered to provide a useful indicator of activity overall.
3.2.2 Land-won Mineral Reserves
New Mineral Reserves
3.2.2.1 During the 2013 calendar year there were 18 minerals related planning applications granted planning permission, one of which increased Kent's permitted landbank of mineral reserves. This application was to extend the existing quarry operations through a westerly extension to Hermitage Quarry, Barming (near Maidstone); it was approved by the County Council's Planning Application Committee on 10th May 2011 but subsequently 'Called in' by Secretary of State. Following the Public Inquiry on the application in December 2012, the Planning Inspector 22 Kent County Council Annual Monitoring Report 2013-14
recommended that the application for the westerly extension be approved subject to conditions on 11th July 2013, providing an estimated additional 10,140,000 tonnes of crushed rock reserves (Kentish Ragstone).
3.2.2.2 It should also be noted that there were two separate, permitted applications Monitoring in 2013 that extended the life of the permitted reserves at two Kent quarries, varying the conditions of the original planning permission to extend the permitted end date for the completion of mineral extraction and subsequent restoration: for sand and Data gravel extraction at Joyce Green Quarry in Dartford and brickearth extraction at the 3 Hempstead House site in Bapchild, near Sittingbourne.
3.2.2.3 Details of the significant mineral planning applications determined during this monitoring period can be found in Appendix A.
Construction Aggregate Landbank
Recorded landbank figures are as of 31st December 2013 and are based on the returns for the Aggregate Monitoring Survey for the 2013 calendar year.
3.2.2.4 The annual LAA requirement is in place of the mineral apportionments from the revoked RSS South East Plan Policy M3 on Construction Aggregates, which required landbanks of land-won sand and gravel at 1.63mtpa and 0.78mtpa of crushed rock respectively until 2026. Though the NPPF has retained the requirement for MPAs to make provision for the maintenance of landbanks of at least seven years for sand and gravel and at least ten years for crushed rock, whilst ensuring that the capacity of operations to supply a wide range of materials is not compromised. Longer periods may be appropriate to take account of the need to supply a range of aggregates, locations of permitted reserves relative to markets and productive capacity of permitted sites.
Land-won Sand and Gravel Landbank
3.2.2.5 The reserves of land-won sand and gravel for aggregate use (excluding hoggin)(19) in Kent stood at approximately 18.05 million tonnes (mt) on the 31st December 2013. This comprised 3.61mt of sharp sands and gravel and 14.44mt of soft or building sands.
3.2.2.6 The National Planning Practice Guidance on minerals (updated March 2014) details how the Managed Aggregate Supply System (MASS) should be applied. MASS has been in existence for some 35 years, the underlying methodology is to ensure sufficient materials can be brought into the market to meet both local and national needs. It makes clear that where there are distinct mineral markets, separate landbanks should be assessed by MPAs.
19 Hoggin is a compactable ground cover composed of a mixture of clay, sand and gravel, an engineering grade material often used for bulk fill applications and has to be extensively processed to yield an aggregate grade sand and gravel Annual Monitoring Report 2013-14 Kent County Council 23 3 3.2.2.7 The NPPF requires the sand and gravel landbanks to be based on the Data latest rolling 10 year sales average. The annual Aggregate Monitoring Survey collects data on sales of sand and gravel by use type; this collection of data by use (20) categories enables the calculation of separate sales and reserve data for soft Monitoring sand and sharp sand and gravel.
3.2.2.8 The estimated Kent sand and gravel landbanks according to the past 10 years of average sales are shown in Table 5. The 7 year maintained landbank represents the amount of reserve of the particular aggregate type required to be maintained in any year to accord with the requirements of the NPPF. The data shows that Kent’s permitted reserves of sharp sands and gravels fall short of providing a 7 year landbank by 1.86mt as of the end of 2013, while soft sands are significantly above the reserve requirements.
Table 5 :Kent's Land-won Sands and Gravel Landbanks
7 Year Landbank Total Permitted 10 Year maintained Duration at Type Reserves as of Average Landbank the end of end of 2013 Sales Figure Requirement 2013(21)
Sharp Sand 3,612,730 781,815 5.46mtpa 4.62 years and Gravel
Soft Sand 14,439,373(1) 649,965 4.55mtpa 22.2 years
1. The Kent County Council has received a late representation to the Plan submitted for Examination in January 2015 from the new owners of Aylesford Sand Pit who refute past AM data records of soft sand reserves. It is contended that 4 mt of permitted sand reserves (previously identified by monitoring as soft sands) at this site are in fact un-viable silica sands. This information may, if verified, require the soft sand permitted reserve calculation to be re-considered in future AMRs. KCC is currently awaiting verification of the matter.
Land-won Crushed Rock Landbank
3.2.2.9 National minerals policy guidance in the NPPF requires the maintenance of a landbank of at least 10 years for crushed rock. As there are only two operating crushed rock (ragstone) quarries in Kent, precise landbank figures cannot be stated due to commercial confidentiality. Therefore, using the assumed 10 year rolling average sales figure of 0.78mtpa over the period to the end of 2030 as the average extraction rate, the existing reserves would provide a remaining landbank of over 50 years. Due to the need to maintain commercial confidentiality the 10 year average sales figure is not published. The 0.78mtpa from the revoked RSS apportionment figure is taken as a substitute for landbank calculation purposes; it has been agreed
20 The use categories are soft sand, sharp sand and gravel, and sand and gravel or hoggin for constructional fill. 21 Based on average sales figures 24 Kent County Council Annual Monitoring Report 2013-14
by the South East England Aggregates Working Party (SEEAWP) as an appropriate proxy for monitoring purposes and is the approach taken to the crushed rock landbank calculation in the second draft Kent LAA (Jan 2015).
Land-won Other (Non Aggregate) Mineral Landbanks Monitoring 3.2.2.10 Permitted reserves and production rates for other (non-aggregate) minerals are not monitored in the same way as construction aggregates. The County Council Data conducted its own extensive Non-Aggregates Mineral Surveys in recent years (2008 3 and 2011) as part of the evidence gathering for the Kent MWLP, with annual updates for the latest figures (where provided) in 2012 and 2013. However, unlike the Aggregate Monitoring Survey conducted by the SEEAWP, the County Council's own surveys do not benefit from the support of trade associations and as such they don't achieve a full response rate. The information obtained from this survey has therefore been combined with estimates of reserves and production rates drawn from previous survey returns, planning applications and other publicly available documents.
Brick and Tile Making from Clay or Brickearth
3.2.2.11 The NPPF(22) requires MPAs to maintain landbanks of brickclay (including brickearth) of at least 25 years and to take account of the need for provision of brick clay from a number of different sources to enable appropriate blends to be made.
3.2.2.12 Brickwork closures in recent years have had a substantial impact on the capacity in Kent and on the distance that material extracted from currently consented sites travels within the county. Whilst there are currently no operational brickworks in Kent which use clay as a raw material, there is a tile manufacturer (Babylon Tile Works) in the Weald of Kent south of Maidstone, which makes Kent peg tiles from clay reserves adjacent to the works. The permitted reserves at this site meet the requirements within the NPPF for brick clay (at least 25 years) but the existing planning permission requires extraction to cease by April 2022 and for Kent peg manufacture to cease a year latter.
3.2.2.13 In 2013 there were four separate, active, permitted landbanks of clay and brickearth in Kent which all together have a landbank of over 25 years of reserves (see Table 6).

Silica Sand
3.2.2.14 National minerals policy guidance on silica sand requires MPAs to plan for a steady and adequate supply of industrial minerals by the provision of a stock of permitted reserves of silica sand of at least 10 years for individual existing sites and for at least 15 years for sites where significant new capital is required.(24)
3.2.2.15 In 2013 Aylesford Quarry near Maidstone, Addington (Wrotham) Sand Pit and Nepicar Farm Sand Pit were regarded as sites that produced silica sand. The estimated term of supply at these sites, as indicated in Table 7, was calculated from 2013 sales rates. Currently two sites meet the required 10 year minimum landbank for existing sites.
3.2.2.16 The term of supplies are approximate estimates as the rate of extraction of silica sand can be dependent upon the products produced by the site, the length of the planning permission and the location of silica sand reserves in relation to the other sand reserves within the site.

The actual condition of reserves at the 3 site are still to be verified.
Cement Making Materials
3.2.2.17 National minerals planning guidance in the NPPF requires MPAs to maintain landbanks of permitted reserves of raw materials for cement plants. These landbanks should include the industry’s primary materials (chalk and limestone) and also secondary materials (clay and shale). Landbanks should collectively be calculated on a per site basis and new sites should have a stock of permitted reserves to last more than 25 years for cement's primary and secondary materials to support a new kiln.(25)
3.2.2.18 There are currently no active cement quarries in Kent. There are significant amounts of consented reserves of chalk and clay for cement manufacture adjacent to the permitted, but not yet built, Holborough Cement Works, as detailed in Table 8.
Table 8 - Chalk and Clay Landbanks at Cement Works in Kent
Name of Site Operator Length of Supply
Holborough Cement Lafarge Cement UK Not yet constructed – Over 25 Works years at planned consumption rate
Chalk and Clay for Agricultural and Engineering Uses
3.2.2.19 Chalk is used in agriculture and engineering in Kent, as well as being used in the production of bricks, tiles and cement and some engineering processes. While chalk for engineering and agricultural use is not covered specifically in current national minerals policy guidance (the NPPF), the former South East Plan Policy M4: Other Minerals required MPAs to make future provision for chalk as a regionally significant mineral of national importance.
3.2.2.20 A survey of land-won chalk extractors in Kent undertaken in 2011 indicated that sales were considerably higher than previously estimated due to a large volume of sales from one site, producing total sales of 203,500 tonnes of land-won chalk from six operational sites. On the basis of the 2011 production rates it was estimated
25 DCLG (2012) National Planning Policy Framework, para. 146. Annual Monitoring Report 2013-14 Kent County Council 27 3 that the remaining chalk reserves would be sufficient for 13 years. However the 2011 Data higher rates of sales did not continue, with the total 2012 and 2013 rates estimated to be at around half of the 2011 total. Monitoring 3.2.2.21 The indicative Kent landbank of chalk is given in Table 9. The landbank was estimated to be around 19.4 years according to 2013 sales rates, or 14.5 years at the three year average sales rates. It should be noted that one site is currently due to cease extraction by 31 December 2016.

1,972,328 tonnes 101,330 tonnes 135,248 tonnes
Landbank of reserves: 19.4 years 14.5 years
3.2.2.22 Kent has a number of freestanding clay working permissions with significant deposits of consented clay. However, only one of these sites remains active. The reserves tied to the other sites have not been worked for many years, or are dormant Interim Development Order sites and therefore cannot be realistically included in the current landbank. Whilst this AMR cannot report on sales from individual sites due to commercial confidentiality, it can be reported an average of 27,400tpa of clay from land-won sources was sold in the years between 2000-2009 for which data is available. The planning permission for the clay working requires completion by 31st December 2015 with restoration by 31st December 2016, but it has been indicated that these timescales are unlikely to be met, it is anticipated that an application to extend these timescales may be submitted to the County Council in 2015.
3.2.3 Wharves and Rail Depots
Safeguarding
3.2.3.1 National minerals policy requires MPAs to safeguard existing, planned and potential sites which can accommodate railheads, wharfage and associated storage, handling and processing facilities for the bulk transport by rail, sea or inland waterway of minerals.(26)
3.2.3.2 KCC worked jointly with Medway Unitary Authority to produce joint Kent and Medway Imports Survey reports. An updated report was published as part of the evidence base for the Kent Minerals and Waste Local Plan - Strategy and Policy Directions consultation in May 2011.(27) The Imports Survey reiterated the importance of continuing a steady supply of both marine dredged aggregates from the dredging grounds around the coast and crushed rock from continental Europe as land-won resources of aggregates are further depleted.

3.2.3.3 The submission version of the Kent MWLP 2013-30 includes both strategic and development management policies to safeguard wharves and rail depots and associated mineral infrastructure on-site, including:
Policy CSM 11: Safeguarded Wharves and Rail Depots Monitoring Policy CSM 12: Safeguarding Other Mineral Plant Infrastructure
Data Policy DM 7: Safeguarding Mineral Resources and Importation Infrastructure 3
3.2.3.4 At the end of 2013 there were 10 active wharves(28) and three active rail depots in the county.
Sales of Construction Aggregates at Wharves and Rail Depots
Wharves :
3.2.3.5 The construction aggregate sales (from both land-won and marine sources) at Kent's wharves in 2013 were as follows:
1,742,709 tonnes of sand and gravel (13.2% decrease from 2012)
546,541 tonnes of crushed rock (20.8% increase from 2012).
3.2.3.6 Compared to 2012, imports of crushed rock has shown a marked increase while sands and gravel imports via Kent's wharves have significantly decreased. The total amount of aggregates imported via wharves in Kent in 2013 was 2,289,250 tonnes, which is an overall decrease of nearly 157,552 from 2012 (6.4% reduction).
3.2.3.7 Figure 5 shows the aggregates sales at Kent's wharves between 2006 and 2013. Sales of both sand and gravel and crushed rock from Kent's wharves declined between 2007 and 2009; a likely result of reduced UK demand resulting from economic downturn. Despite the reduction in sand and gravel imports in 2013, the general increases since 2010 indicate a possible recovery that may in part be a consequence of the diminishing demand for land-won sand and gravel (see Production of Primary Land-won Aggregates in Chapter 3.2.1: Production of Aggregates).
28 Two of the wharves (at Ridham and Robins Wharf Northfleet) have two operators. Annual Monitoring Report 2013-14 Kent County Council 29 3 Figure 5 Sales of Construction Aggregates at Wharves 2006 - 2013 Data Monitoring
Rail Depots:
3.2.3.8 Construction Aggregate sales (from both land-won and marine sources) at Kent's rail depots in 2013 were as follows:
Approximately 41,830 tonnes of sand and gravel (approx. 1% decrease from 2012).
326,578 tonnes of crushed rock (20.7% increase from 2012).
3.2.3.9 The total sales of construction aggregates sold from Kent's rail depots in 2013 was therefore 368,408 tonnes, an overall increase of 55,694 tonnes (17.8%) from sales in 2012. A degree of care should be exercised while considering this data, as it may be the case that some of the aggregate material extracted from quarries or landed at wharves in Kent may be transported to a Kent railhead and then recorded as an new aggregate sale, effectively introducing a degree of double counting in the aggregate sales data for Kent. The annual Aggregate Monitoring survey does not investigate this possibility.
3.2.3.10 Figure 6 shows that sales of construction aggregates at rail depots have followed similar trends to sales at Kent quarries and wharves, with sales generally decreasing between 2008 and 2010 (possibly due to the effects of the economic 30 Kent County Council Annual Monitoring Report 2013-14
decline) with some indication of recovery in 2011. It could be speculated that the recovery of rail imports in 2013 may be a result of increased demand due to a return of growth in the economy.
Monitoring Figure 6 Sales of Construction Aggregates at Rail Depots in Kent (2003 - 2013) Data 3 Annual Monitoring Report 2013-14 Kent County Council 31 3 3.2.4 Construction Aggregate Summary Data
3.2.4.1 Table 10 below demonstrates that despite minor decreases in sales from
Kent's wharves and rail depots from the previous monitoring year, imported Monitoring aggregates are the main contributor to Kent's supply of aggregate minerals. Imported sales remained significantly higher than the contributions from both land-won and secondary and recycled sources, despite a small overall increase in land-won sales in 2013 (combined total of sand and gravel and crushed rock).

3 The term Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) was previously synonymous with waste collected by local authorities. However, in 2010 the UK expanded its definition to include waste from other sources similar in nature and composition to align with the EU definition.
The term “Local Authority Collected Waste”(LACW) is now used to distinguish between that waste that was formerly known as MSW and the new wider municipal solid waste ('LACW plus'). LACW includes waste produced by householders collected from their homes (collected household waste) waste deposited at Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRCs) (total household waste) plus commercial waste collected by district councils, street sweepings, litter and fly tipped materials. In general, the non-household waste fraction of LACW represents less than 5% of total collected arisings.
For ease of comparison with previous AMRs, MSW has been taken to mean LACW.
3.3.1 Municipal Waste Arisings by Management Types
3.3.1.1 The tonnage of MSW in Kent in 2013/14 was recorded at 696,816 according to the KCC Waste Management Unit, representing an increase of 1.28% from the 2012/13 monitoring year.
3.3.1.2 The 2013/14 tonnages, proportions by management type and the percentage change from the previous monitoring year (based on actual tonnage) are set out in Table 11. The data shows that MSW arisings sent to landfill have continued to decline in 2013/14, whilst management by energy recovery and composting have seen increases. Although there has been fluctuation within the tonnages of each management type since 2012/13, the pattern of management remains similar with the dominant methods of management continuing to be recycling and composting (combined total of 46%) and energy recovery (37%) of total MSW.
3.3.1.3 The continued decline in waste sent to landfill in Kent is a result of the commitment by Waste Collection Authorities and Waste Disposal Authority to divert waste from landfill and increase recycling, as well as contractual obligations for the operation of alternative waste management facilities including the development of the Allington Energy from Waste (EfW) plant and the letting of recycling promoting contracts for HWRCs and collection. Annual Monitoring Report 2013-14 Kent County Council 33 3 3.3.1.4 The objectives of the Waste Management Plan for England (Defra, Data December 2013) include measures to be taken by 2020 such as the target of at least 50% by weight of waste from households (or certain materials) being prepared for re-use or recycled. Waste management in Kent continues to progress towards and Monitoring contribute to this target, and to continue to divert waste from landfill under the EU Landfill Directive.
3.3.1.5 The Kent Joint Municipal Waste Management Strategy (KJMWMS) adopted by the collection and disposal authorities of Kent (Kent Waste Partnership) in 2007 set a target of a minimum level of 40% recycling and composting of household waste in Kent by 2012/13. The data in this chapter shows this target has been exceeded and sustained since 2008/9. The work of the Partnership has been taken on by the Kent Resource Partnership that have updated the targets of the KJMWMS as follows for household waste:
recycling/composting rates of at least 45% by 2015/16;
landfilling no more than 10% by 2015/16;
recycling/composting rates at least 50% by 2020/21; and
landfilling no more than 5% by 2020/21.
3.3.1.6 The latter targets reflect the ambition to get as close to zero untreated household waste to landfill as possible by 2020/21. In 2013, KCC was already meeting the 2015/16 target for recycling/composting rates and is making good progress towards the 2015/16 landfill diversion target.
Table 11 Quantities of MSW Managed in Kent by Management Type in 2013

3.3.1.7 Figures 7 and 8 below show the trends in the management of MSW in Kent between 2008/9 and 2013/14, shown in tonnage and percentage respectively. Over the last five years of monitoring, there has been notably steady trends in both the decreasing levels of MSW arisings going to landfill as well as increases in the amount of MSW sent for energy recovery. While there has been minor fluctuation in the tonnages of recycled MSW, recycling makes a steady contribution to the overall 34 Kent County Council Annual Monitoring Report 2013-14
annual management of MSW in Kent at approximately 30% of the total arisings. Although composting levels have also slightly fluctuated, the overall contribution to the management of MSW has increased from approximately 11% to 17%. Together, the contribution to MSW management from recycling and composting has exceeded 40% since 2008/9, rising to around 46% in 2011/12 - 2013/14. Monitoring

Table 12 below shows the proportions of MSW arisings diverted from landfill (managed by other types of waste management facility) from 2005/06 to 2013/14. In 2013/14, 575,104 tonnes of MSW was diverted from landfill, an increase of 25,962 tonnes from 2012/13 (2.7%). The tonnages diverted from landfill in Kent in 2013/14 are also the highest to date at 82.5% of the MSW arisings. Diversion rates have steadily increased and have nearly tripled since 2005/6. 36 Kent County Council Annual Monitoring Report 2013-14

3.3.2 Waste Generation Growth Rates
Municipal Solid Waste (MSW)
3.3.2.1 The amount of MSW generated in 2013/14 was 696,816 tonnes. This is explained in greater detail in Chapter 3.3.2: Municipal Waste Arisings by Management Types.
3.3.2.2 During the 2013/14 monitoring period there was minor growth in MSW arising with a growth rate of 1.28%. This is in contrast to the falling growth rates trend seen in Kent since 2009/10, with the exception of a very small increase in 2010/11 (0.26%), as shown in Table 13.

3.3.2.3 There is no annual data published on the amount of C&I waste produced
in Kent each year. For the Kent MWLP 2013-30, an estimate of C&I waste arising in Monitoring Kent has been made using a national survey of C&I waste conducted during 2009. Anticipated annual growth rates are used to produce an estimate of C&I waste arisings in Kent for each year of the MWLP plan period.
3.3.2.4 The most recent national survey of C&I waste arisings was conducted for the year of 2009 for DEFRA.(29) This data has been used to estimate the amount of C&I waste that will be produced in Kent during the MWLP period based upon the business mix in the Kent economy in 2009.(30) See Table 14.
3.3.2.5 Estimates of C&I waste arisings will be produced on an annual basis in future years to support the monitoring requirements of the Plan once adopted.

3.3.2.6 The most recent national study on inert CDE waste arisings was conducted in 2005 for DCLG.(31) This data was disaggregated to estimate the waste arisings in Kent alone based upon the relative populations of Kent and Medway in 2005.(32) This method generated an estimate of the amount of inert CD&E waste that arose in Kent in 2005 of 2.6mt.
3.3.2.7 In April 2010, the Waste and Resources Action Programme (WRAP) published a study(33) on the national arisings of CD&E both for the inert and non-inert fractions of that waste stream. The year of survey is 2008 and at national level it

showed a decrease in inert CD&E arisings nationally of 7%. This study does not disaggregate the national survey to regional or county levels, so the 2005 estimate for inert CD&E arisings in Kent is considered to be the most reliable baseline figure.
3.3.2.8 The Kent Waste Needs Assessment Study (May 2010)(34) has based its Monitoring forecast for future waste provision on the 2005 study and does not use any factor for growth. The National Planning Practice Guidance for Waste (Updated October 2014)(35) also advises that Waste Planning Authorities should start from the basis Data that net arisings will remain constant over time. Therefore, the forecast used in the 3 Kent MWLP 2013-30 assumes no growth in this waste stream. As the relevant survey work relates only to inert CD&E waste, no separate assessment of non-inert CD&E waste has been produced.
3.3.3 Exports and Imports of Waste
Waste Movements by Waste Type
3.3.3.1 Information concerning the quantities, origins and destinations of waste is published annually by the Environment Agency's Waste Data Interrogator (WDI). The classification of waste management routes shown and discussed in this chapter are based on the classification of sites used in the WDI. It should be noted that the data is indicative; it is likely that some of the waste going for transfer is subjected to processing including the extraction of recyclable materials. The actual amount would need to be assessed on a site by site basis.
3.3.3.2 Figure 9 depicts the waste arisings managed in Kent and their movements; it shows the tonnage of waste arising and managed in Kent (Kent to Kent), the waste arisings received for management in Kent (Kent Import) and the wastes arising in Kent sent out of the county for management (Kent Exports). In 2013 there was a notably large amount of waste imported into Kent for transfer; this figure is skewed by over a million tonnes of London waste arising from the tunnelling operations of the Crossrail project imported to a temporary transfer station in Northfleet.(36) Operations at the site have now ceased. Otherwise, Figure 7 shows the majority of wastes from each management type is of Kent to Kent movement, with the exception of waste for recovery where exports are higher than the Kent to Kent and Kent Import figures. This Deposit for Recovery category includes inert wastes being used in land reclamation and engineering projects and the half a million tonnes of Crossrail waste transferred from Northfleet to Essex.
3.3.3.3 Waste imports from and exports to other Waste Planning Authority (WPA) areas in England are an inevitable part of the operation of the waste management markets, and do not necessarily represent an indication of a capacity deficit in Kent or other WPA areas. In 2013 there was 140 other WPAs linked to Kent by either import or export.

3.3.3.4 A much greater level of detail on the movement of Kent MSW is available since the County Council is responsible for its management. This breakdown is given in Table 15 below. All of Kent's MSW going for energy recovery is managed in Kent and high proportions of green waste and landfill waste are managed within the county (99.6% and 71% respectively). Overall only 14.5% of Kent's MSW arisings were managed outside of the county in 2013/14. 40 Kent County Council Annual Monitoring Report 2013-14

3.3.3.5 Whilst the majority of the MSW export data for 2013/14 shows no significant change from the previous monitoring year, it is notable that the amount of recyclables exported for management has doubled from 32,858 tonnes (15.6%) to 65,265 tonnes (32.4%). This follows the trend reported in last year's AMR which found that that the MSW recyclables exported from the KCC doubled in the period between 2011/12 and 2012/13, from 16,520 tonnes to 32,858 tonnes. The increase in exports of recyclables does not necessarily reflect a lack of capacity within Kent; for example, it may be the result of increasing source separate collections by District WCAs, in which case the collected recyclates will be cleaner and can go directly to reprocessors that may be located outside Kent.
3.3.3.6 Overall amounts of MSW managed within Kent in 2013/14 decreased by around 5% from the previous monitoring year.
Kent Waste Management by Region of Origin (Imports) & Destination (Exports)
3.3.3.7 Figure 10 displays the tonnages of waste imports and exports by region of origin/destination.
3.3.3.8 Figure 10 shows that significant quantities of waste were imported into Kent from London with over 1.5mt received (representing 64.5% of total imports). This is due to the wastes received for transfer from the construction of the Crossrail project, discussed in paragraph 3.3.4.2. The south-east is the other main origin of waste imports into Kent (27.7%), with comparatively less arriving from the East of England (5.4%) and other WPAs in regions further afield in England and Wales (0.8% combined). Annual Monitoring Report 2013-14 Kent County Council 41 3 3.3.3.9 Whilst the majority of the waste exported from Kent also travels to the Data adjoining regions, the proportions sent to the east (36.8%) and the south east of England (28.4%) are higher than those sent to London (27.7%) in 2013/14. However, the quantities of waste sent to the east are again distorted by the Crossrail project Monitoring waste, with approximately half a million tonnes of the imported inert waste being transferred from Kent to a site in Essex. A greater quantity of waste is exported from Kent to 'other regions' in England and Waste than imported from these regions, the difference being over 90,000 tonnes, however this tonnage represents a low proportion of overall exports at 7.1%. Overall Kent is still a net importer of waste.

3.3.4 Capacity for Handling Waste Materials in Kent
New Waste Capacity
3.3.4.1 In 2013 the County Council determined a total of 63 waste planning applications for waste management related development. The locations of the applications are widely distributed across the county; 14 in Ashford, 13 in Swale, 10 in Tonbridge & Malling, 7 in Shepway, 6 in Canterbury, 6 in Dartford and 1 each in Dover, Sevenoaks and Thanet. Tunbridge Wells was the only district to have no waste related planning applications determined in 2013. 42 Kent County Council Annual Monitoring Report 2013-14
3.3.4.2 Eight of the waste planning applications granted planning permission in 2013 provide additional capacity for waste management within Kent. The majority of the additional capacity granted applies to waste management facilities located towards the top of the waste hierarchy; recycling, recovery and preparing for re-use. There was one facility granted to manage waste by landfill (positioned at the bottom Monitoring of the waste hierarchy), however, landfilling was required at this site to infill an existing pit in order to restore the site to a new green amenity space with biodiversity benefits. Data 3.3.4.3 The granted additional capacity is located at both existing sites and at new 3 sites for waste management facilities in Kent. Details of the planning applications can be found in Appendix A.
3.3.4.4 The additional capacity permitted in 2013 has been incorporated into Kent's existing waste management capacity, shown in Table 16 by facility type.
Kent's Waste Management Capacity
Table 16 shows the estimated permitted capacity of facilities by waste management type in Kent at the end of March 2013. Following a review of how this the waste capacity information is categorised and presented, a direct comparison with the previous year's data is not always possible. Next year's AMR should be able to provide a more comparable data set for each category.
The figures in Table 16 show the maximum permitted capacity for non landfill facilities allowed by the environmental permit, if permitted. If the site does not benefit from an environmental permit, then the estimated annual capacity submitted with the planning application has been applied. For landfill sites, the data in Table 16 is the void space remaining at 31 December 2013 as provided by the Environment Agency, which is based upon operator returns submitted as a requirement of the environmental permit. Landfill void data has been supplemented by KCC planning application monitoring information.
In 2013/14, Kent had just over 15mt of non landfill waste management capacity; an increase of 2.6mt on the previous monitoring year. There were significant increases in capacity towards the top of the waste management hierarchy in composting/ anaerobic digestion and MSW & C&I recycling. The significant increase seen in waste transfer can be accounted for by the temporary facility receiving Crossrail project wastes from London. The decreases seen in C&D Recycling/ Aggregate Recycling, Metal/ELV Facilities and Incineration/Energy Recovery capacity are not considered to present an issue for Kent's ability to manage waste arisings and imports; in the case of aggregate recycling capacity can fluctuate with demand.
The total remaining landfill capacity in Kent for all waste types (void space in cubic metres) continues to decrease overall, falling by 436,750 tonnes since 2012/13 to 16,128,502 tonnes, despite the additional inert capacity granted for restoration during the monitoring period. The small increase seen in non hazardous waste void space may be the result of operator recalculation of settlement rates since no additional capacity has been granted.

4 Duty to Co-operate Summary Duty
4.1 Introduction to
4.1.1 LPA's AMRs must contain details of the co-operation undertaken with other Co-operate LPAs and the prescribed Duty to Co-operate (DtC) bodies.(37)
What is the Duty to Co-operate (DtC)?
4.1.2 The Localism Act 2011 amended the PCPA 2004 by introducing Section 33a which introduces the DtC. The Duty applies to all LPAs, councils and prescribed Summary bodies and requires that they actively co-operate with each other to maximise the effectiveness with which development plans are prepared and implemented.
4.1.3 The Duty requires that engagement occurs constructively, actively and on an on-going basis during the plan making process and beyond and that regard be given to the activities of other authorities where these are relevant to the LPA in question. For Kent this represents the districts and boroughs within the county of Kent, planning authority areas bordering Kent and other local authorities linked to Kent by movements of mineral aggregates and waste (imports/exports).
4.1.4 Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2012,(38) set out the bodies ((in addition to Local Planning Authorities and County Councils) subject to the Duty to Co-operate: a. the Environment Agency; b. the Historic Buildings and Monuments Commission for England (known as English Heritage); c. Natural England; d. the Mayor of London; e. the Civil Aviation Authority; f. the Homes and Communities Agency; g. each clinical commissioning group (the previously requirement was for consultation with Primary Care Trusts)(39) h. the Office of Rail Regulation;

i. Transport for London;
j. each Integrated Transport Authority;
k. each highway authority within the meaning of section 1 of the Highways Act Summary 1980(6) (including the Secretary of State, where the Secretary of State is the highways authority); and
l. the Marine Management Organisation.
Co-operate 4.1.5 Following the release of the Town and Country Planning (Local Planning)
to (England) (Amendment) Regulations 2012, Local Enterprise Partnerships (LEPs) and Local Nature Partnerships (LNPs) are now a part of regulation 4(2) and are therefore considered as statutory prescribed bodies. The amendments (regulation Duty 4(3) specifically) identify LEPs and LNPs as the following: 4
LEP; a body established for the purpose of creating or improving conditions for economic growth, designated by the Secretary of State.
LNP; body established for the purpose of protecting and improving the natural environment in an area, designated by the Secretary of State.
4.1.6 Engagement with all of the above bodies should be proportionate in level of co-operation and engagement should be tailored according to where they can maximise the effectiveness of plans.
4.2 Co-operation in Monitoring Period
4.2.1 The following summarises the DtC related activity undertaken by the County Council during the monitoring period. More detail is included in the County Council's DtC report (November 2014), which focuses exclusively on the co-operation undertaken throughout the development of the Kent MWLP 2013-30.(40)
Formal Consultation
4.2.2 Throughout the preparation of the Kent minerals and waste local plans the County Council has actively invited all relevant key stakeholders to comment at each stage of the formal consultation process; the same approach was taken to the Pre-submission (January 2014)(41) and Submission (July 2014)(42) consultations on the Kent MWLP 2013-30 held during the monitoring period. These consultations are outlined in more detail under Progress of the Minerals and Waste Local Plan in Chapter 2.2 of this report.

4.2.10 KCC is an active participant of SEWPAG and therefore contributes towards its role of assisting neighbouring waste planning authorities to fulfil the DtC regarding strategic issues such as the cross-boundary movements of waste. Other roles of SEWPAG include sharing of information, knowledge, ideas and best practice concerning waste planning/ management and to commission joint projects amongst Annual Monitoring Report 2013-14 Kent County Council 49 4 planning authorities to provide a consistent evidence base for waste planning. KCC Duty attended and actively participated in meetings held on 22nd April 2013, 4th July 2013, 30th January 2014 and 10th April 2014. to 4.2.11 In May 2013, the County Council signed a Memorandum of Understanding Co-operate between WPAs and SEWPAG. The memorandum underpins effective co-operation between the WPAs listed above in addressing strategic cross-boundary issues relating to planning for sustainable waste management. This can be found in Appendix D.2.
Nuclear Legacy Advisory Forum (NuLeAF)
4.2.12 NuLeAF is a Special Interest Group part of the Local Government Association Summary and was formed in 2003 by local planning authorities with a shared interest in the management of radioactive wastes and nuclear decommissioning. The objectives of the organisation range from providing a mechanism to identify common local authority views on nuclear waste management issues, to seeking to influence policy and strategy for nuclear legacy management.
4.2.13 KCC attends the organisation's Steering Group and the Radioactive Waste Planning Group; meetings are on average three to four annually per group. KCC attended one such meeting in January 2014.
South East 7 (SE7)
4.2.14 The South East 7 (SE7) is a partnership between seven WDAs committed to co-operation to improve the quality of services and achieve financial savings. Including:
Brighton and Hove City Council East Sussex County Council Hampshire County Council Kent County Council Medway Council Surrey County Council West Sussex County Council
4.2.15 The SE7 operates as a 'coalition of the willing' as each member determines the extent of their engagement with each activity based on their identified priorities. There are a total of four specific workstreams defining the overall programme of activity. The County Council currently leads on issues specifically associated with waste management. As a leading member for waste related issues, the County Council initiated engagement with the officers attending a meeting on 18th October 2013, raising the following:
the rationale and aims of the SE7 Waste Programme and SE7 Infrastructure Project;
the relationship between waste planners and the SE7 Waste Programme; 50 Kent County Council Annual Monitoring Report 2013-14
the information of interest to SE7 Infrastructure Programme; and
the project's need to gather information regarding planned and proposed waste infrastructure, planned capacities and waste planning strategies. Summary
4.2.16 The County Council were able to inform SE7 members of identified additional data sources useful in capacity associated with the SE7 Infrastructure project. KCC also attended the group's meeting on 22nd April 2014, at which SE7 members acknowledged that the SE7 has delivered tangible benefits, is well established and that there is value in continuing the group.

East Sussex County Council Duty
4 4.2.17 Email correspondence took place on 7th June 2013 with East Sussex County Council regarding the preparations of their LAA, the following information was shared and discussed at their request:
Cross border movements of aggregates;
Road imports into East Sussex/Brighton & Hove from Kent; and
Soft sand imports from Tunbridge Wells area.
Essex County Council
4.2.18 Following on-going correspondence in the form of meetings and email between both counties on cross boundary issues, a Statement of Common Ground was produced and signed in July 2013; presenting an agreement between both parties to safeguard existing minerals importation infrastructure to allow mineral movements to continue between Essex and Kent. The statement also demonstrates an agreed understanding of KCC and Essex County Council's position in the emerging Essex Replacement Minerals Local Plan and the Kent MWLP and formalises on-going duty to co-operate arrangements regarding cross-boundary mineral aggregates movements between Essex and Kent. The Statement of Common Ground can be found in Appendix D.3.
Stakeholder Meetings
Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty Unit, April - May 2014
4.2.19 The Kent MWLP team met with representatives from the Kent Downs AONB to discuss the following matters:
splitting sharp sand and gravel and soft sand land-banks Annual Monitoring Report 2013-14 Kent County Council 51 4 changes to policy and text to reflect the importance of landscape and AONB Duty and its setting
concerns with the SA to Co-operate
4.2.20 The Kent Downs AONB highlighted the need to split sharp and gravel and soft sand land-banks to reflect the latest National Planning Practice Guidance on Minerals; the result of this co-operation was the alternation of the approach to and content of the Kent MWLP 2013-30 Policy CSM2: Supply of Land-won Minerals in Kent. As a result, the Kent MWLP ensures provisions will be made for landbanks of Summary land-won aggregates of seven years for sharp sand and gravel and a rolling landbank of at least seven years for soft sand. Co-operation also resulted in amendments to Policy DM2: Environmental and Landscape Sites of International, National and Local Importance (in particular section two) and the supporting text in order to reflect the importance of the AONB and its setting. The content of the Plan's Sustainability Appraisal was also amended to reflect these changes.
4.2.21 However, it should be noted that Policy CSM2 is now the subject of a main modification as part of the independent examination of the Kent MWLP 2013-30.
Targeted Co-operation with other Minerals Planning Authorities and Waste Planning Authorities
4.2.22 A survey regarding the cross boundary movements of minerals and waste, commenced during in the previous monitoring period, was continued and finalised during the 2013/14 monitoring period. All of the authorities contacted were offered the opportunity for further discussion with KCC and to join the team's consultation database of contacts.
Minerals Movements
4.2.23 The County Council consulted MPAs and minerals industry operators involved in the movement of aggregate minerals into Kent regarding these existing imports and their availability throughout the Kent MWLP plan period (2013-2030).
4.2.24 Approximately every four years the Annual Aggregate Monitoring (AM) Survey, in conjunction with SEEAWP, carries out a more extensive survey to include data on the movement, origins and destinations of aggregates. It was therefore possible to identity the origin of aggregates imported into Kent from provided by operators for the last wider AM survey carried out for the 2009 calendar year. Where origin was identified, letters were sent to the Kent mineral operators receiving imports of minerals from international sources, and the MPAs where either a specific mineral site of origin was identified within their authority area, or where their region was given as the origin of the mineral. Those consulted were asked to confirm the:
identified minerals aggregate movements;
their availability throughout the plan period; and 52 Kent County Council Annual Monitoring Report 2013-14
whether any supply issues are foreseen.
4.2.25 Responses received from mineral operators confirmed international minerals movements of significant quantities from sites in Europe. Whilst some operators Summary noted that any future supply issues will be difficult to estimate due to the dynamic nature of the economic market, the reserve figures supplied do not suggest there would be any significant supply issues for these mineral imports for the life of the Plan. Out of the responses received from MPAs, the majority were able to confirm the existing mineral export movements and provide information on the permitted dates, expected life of the quarry and the anticipated reserves, thereby confirming Co-operate the continuation of the long term mineral supply streams for the plan period up to to 2013. A few MPAs also confirmed that the cross boundary mineral movements into Kent are deemed to be of an insignificant nature (less than 20,000tpa). Duty
4 4.2.26 There was one possible supply issue identified with a site in the Leicestershire MPA area exporting crushed rock (granite) into Kent as it was notes that the quarry's reserves may be depleted around 2027, even with the sales at the quarry a lower rate in recent years as a result of the economic recession, and it may not be possible for the continued export of crushed rock from the to be sustained throughout plan period up to 2030 to Kent and the south east without the grant of a further permission for mineral extraction. However, with the current KCC landbank of land-won crushed rock permissions in excess of the requirements for the plan period, and the availability of other sources of import crushed rock (including granite), this possible reduction in supply from this site later in the plan period it was not considered to a significant issue for the mineral supply for the plan period.
4.2.27 A table of the responses can be found in Appendix D.4.
Waste Movements
Exports
4.2.28 Using data from the Environment Agency's Waste Data Interrogator (WDI) 2011 and Hazardous Waste Data Interrogator (HWDI) 2012,(43) WPAs within England and Wales receiving 'significant' quantities of hazardous/inert/non hazardous waste from Kent were contacted during 2013 regarding current and future waste movements and the availability of waste management facilities within the authority areas in question. Each WPA received a letter detailing information on waste management facilities known to Kent, the tonnage of waste exports and the waste type. WPAs were asked about the integrity of the information provided, the duration of the waste management facilities and whether the WPAs could foresee any issues impacting the Kent MWLP 2013-30 plan period. A parallel survey was undertaken for WPA receiving quantities of Kent's waste below the 'significant' threshold. A total of 43 and 60 WPAs were contacted for the respective surveys.
43 The latest data available at the time of the survey. Annual Monitoring Report 2013-14 Kent County Council 53 4 4.2.29 The responses received from WPAs reported that the majority of the existing Duty waste management facilities hold permanent planning permissions and will therefore remain available throughout the plan period (2013-2030). Where the waste management facilities were known to hold temporary planning permissions, WPAs to
provided expiry dates beyond the plan period. WPAs also provided information on Co-operate the remaining capacity at different sites throughout the plan period, aiding the identification of any potential implications for the Plan.
4.2.30 The points of co-operation and a summary of the WPA responses are set out in Appendix D.5. Summary Imports
The County Council has also responded to DtC requests from other MPA/WPAs during the monitoring period, providing information on facilities and known tonnages handled. Waste received from London Boroughs are particularly relevant to the future planning of waste management capacity in Kent.
Details of engagement with London Boroughs regarding waste imported to Kent can be found in Appendix D.6.
Co-operation with Teams within Kent County Council
4.2.31 Co-operation has taken place between the Minerals and Waste Local Plan team and other County Council internal teams during plan preparation in the monitoring period on strategic planning matters.

5 Conclusions and Next Steps Conclusions
Monitoring the Progress of the Kent Minerals and Waste Local Plan and the Duty to Co-operate
5.0.1 Excellent progress was made on the preparation of the strategic local plan, the Kent MWLP 2013-30, during the monitoring period meeting all the target programme dates for public consultation set out in the Development Scheme, including and the Submission of the Plan to the Secretary of State for Examination on 03 November
2014. A hearing on the Plan will commence on 14 April 2015, scheduled to run until Next 24 April 2015. The Development Scheme dates for the final stages of the Plan to be revised in 2015 according to the progression of the Examination process. Steps
5.0.2 The next programme stages for the Kent Minerals Sites Plan and the Kent Waste Sites Plan will need to be revised at a later date in 2015. This revision will provide a more up-to-date timetable on the progression of the Plans for the community's information. Progression of the Sites Plans will recommence when the Kent MWLP 2013-30 has been examined. The new Development Scheme brought into effect during the monitoring period (July 2014) now includes an additional 'Call for Sites' stage to be held before any further development of the documents.
5.0.3 The County Council has continued to comply with the requirements under the Localism Act's DtC by actively engaging and working with key stakeholders in the development of the Kent MWLP during 2013/14. This has been mainly through the formal consultation on the pre-submission (January 2014) and submission (July 2014) drafts of the Plan. Representations were invited from a wide range of stakeholders including Kent district authorities, neighbouring authorities, parish councils and prescribed bodies under the DtC, as well as a range of statutory interest and local groups, local businesses, minerals and waste industries and related interest groups and interested members of the public.
5.0.4 Engagement with other local authorities and key groups on cross boundary minerals and waste issues has continued through participation in working group meetings including the SEEAWP, South SEWPAG, NuLeAF, and the SE7. Proactive targeted engagement on specific issues also took place with East Sussex and Essex County Council and other teams within the County Council on strategic matters.
5.0.5 Survey work on the cross boundary movements of minerals and waste was finalised during monitoring period. All 103 authorities/ operators contacted were offered the opportunity for further discussion with KCC and to join the consultation database of contacts. No major supply or capacity issues for the plan period were identified.
5.0.6 Engagement during the monitoring period has helped shape the submitted Kent MWLP 2013-30 and will inform the discussion on the key matters and issues at the Examination. 56 Kent County Council Annual Monitoring Report 2013-14
Mineral Indicator Monitoring
5.0.7 The aggregate sales in Kent during 2013 from all sources amounted to some Steps 4.9mt. This was contributed to from increases in the overall land-won aggregate sales (by approx. 15,000 tonnes) and a notable recovery of crushed rock sales at
Next wharves (20.8% increase) and rail depots (20.7% increase), in comparison to the 2012 monitoring year. However, compared to the previous monitoring year sales fell
and at secondary and recycled aggregate sites (-14%) and the quantity of imported sand and gravel declined at both wharves (-13.2%) and rail depots (-1%). Overall, the trends in aggregate sales seen in recent years have continued; sales of land-won sand and gravel in Kent continues to decline as they have over the last ten years with an increasing proportion of Kent’s aggregate needs met by sales of imported minerals.
Conclusions 5.0.8 Additional Kentish Ragstone reserves were permitted during 2013 through 5 an extension to an existing site. This more than secures the ability of Kent to maintain a 10 year landbank of crushed rock at any time over the life of the Kent MWLP 2013-30. Overall Kent meets the national planning policy requirements for construction aggregates landbanks for crushed rock and when soft sands and sharp (or flint) sands and gravels reserves are combined. If the sharp sands are considered alone, a maintained 7 year landbank of 5.67mt in any one year is not being achieved. The currently permitted reserves amount to some 3.61 mt, sufficient for 4.62 years at a rate of extraction equal to the 10 years average sales figure.
5.0.9 There are four permitted landbanks of clay and brickearth with remaining reserves in Kent. These sites have a combined landbank of over 25 years, meeting national policy requirements. Only one of the three Kent silica sand sites does not currently meet the requirement of maintaining a 10 year landbank per site at existing sites. One silica sand site has been declared by the owner as now containing un-viable reserves of silica sand. This will be considered further at the Plan's forthcoming examination. While there are no active quarries to supply minerals for cement production in Kent, there is a consented quarry with over 25 years of reserves adjacent to the permitted, but unconstrcuted Holborough Cement works. Kent's chalk reserves for agriculture and engineering purposes, on the basis of the 2013 rate of sales at five active sites, have an indicative permitted landbank of 19.4 years of chalk reserves at the end of 2013; alternatively a calculation based on the average rate of chalk sales between 2011 and 2013 would indicate a landbank figure of 14.5 years.
Waste Indicator Monitoring
5.0.10 There has been a minor increase in the arisings of MSW (1.28%) (now Local Authority Collected Waste (LACW)) for the first time in recent years. The dominant methods of management for MSW continued to be recycling and composting (46%) and energy recovery (37%), whilst diversion of MSW from landfill continued to increase, reaching its highest level to date at 82.5% of all MSW. In 2013 KCC have already met the updated targets of the KJMWMS for recycling/composting rates of at least 45% by 2015/16 and is making good progress towards the 2015/16 landfill diversion target of 90%. Annual Monitoring Report 2013-14 Kent County Council 57 5 5.0.11 There is no regular data available on the annual arisings of CD&E so for Conclusions the purposes of the preparation of the Kent MWLP 2013-30 it is assumed that no growth occurs in CD&E waste arisings, in line with past forecasting and national guidance. The most recent national survey of C&I waste arisings was conducted for the year of 2009 for DEFRA. Estimates of C&I waste arisings will be produced on an annual basis in future years to support the monitoring requirements of the Plan once adopted. and 5.0.12 The waste import and exports levels in Kent in 2013/14 were notably affected by over a million tonnes of London waste arising from the tunnelling operations of Next the Crossrail project imported to a temporary transfer station in Northfleet, with half of this material recorded as being exported for recovery at a site in Essex. Otherwise movements of waste continued between Kent and London, the south-east and the Steps east of England, with much smaller proportions travelling further afield to other WPAs in England and Wales. Overall Kent is still a net importer of waste; Imports were nearly 800,000 tonnes higher than exports in 2013/14.
5.0.13 In terms of Kent's MSW, it was found that overall only 14.5% of Kent's arisings were managed outside of the county in 2013/14; all of Kent's MSW for energy recovery is managed within Kent and high proportions of green waste and landfilled waste are managed within the county (99.6% and 71% respectively).
5.0.14 Eight of the waste planning application granted planning permission in the monitoring period provided additional capacity for waste management within Kent. In 2013/14, there was around 15mt of non landfill waste management capacity; an increase of approximately 2.6mt on previous monitoring year. There were significant increases in capacity towards the top of the waste management hierarchy in composting/ anaerobic digestion and MSW and C&I recycling, plus a significant increase in waste transfer due to the Crossrail project wastes from London. There were marginal decreases in the capacity of CD&E Recycling/ Aggregate Recycling, Metal/ELV Facilities and Incineration/Energy Recovery capacity but these are not considered significant enough to affect Kent's ability to manage waste arisings and imports.
Conclusion and Next Steps
Overall, the monitoring data illustrates the aggregate supply and waste management capacity within the county for 2013/14. It forms the basis for Kent’s emerging mineral and waste planning policies and planning decisions. The AMR also tracks plan making progress against the latest MWDS timetable and the co-operation on plan making activities with other local authorities and stakeholders.
5.0.15 Next year's AMR will report on the plan preparation progress in accordance with the revised programme dates to be brought into effect by an updated Development Scheme, to include the outcome of the Kent MWLP 2013-30 Examination. Future editions of this report will change once the Kent MWLP 2013-30 is adopted, the focus will be on monitoring and reporting on the implementation and effectiveness of adopted plan policies. Appendix A: Minerals and Waste Planning Applications 58 Kent Appendix A: Minerals and Waste Planning Applications County Kent County Council usually determines between 50 and 100 minerals or waste related planning applications every year. In 2012/13 KCC granted 83 minerals and waste permissions. Those listed here are only those that result, or could result, in increased in permitted mineral reserves/mineral importation or production capacity/waste management capacity, changes in the permitted 'life' Council of sites or the areas of land to be worked.

2014 Draft LAAs to SEEAWP Dear Bryan, SEEAWP thanks you for consulting its members on your authority’s draft LAA for 2014 at its meeting on 27 October. This was one of 11 LAAs considered at the meeting. Detailed comments were made on a number of the drafts which were either responded to at the meeting, or to be the subject of correspondence. As those were detailed comments they did not constitute SEEAWP views, but you will no doubt have regard to them. SEEAWP approved the Kent Local Aggregate Assessment dated August 2014. There were two wider issues raised on 27 October in discussion on the LAAs – the provision to be made for soft sand, and the movement of aggregate across MPA boundaries to overcome anticipated shortfalls in supply. Your assistance may be sought to aid in reporting on these issues at the next SEEAWP meeting Yours sincerely,
John Kilford SEEAWP Chairman

D.2 Memorandum of Understanding between the Waste Planning Authorities of the South East, May 2013 Co-operate
to
Memorandum of Understanding between the Waste Planning Authorities of the South East of England
Duty May 2013
D: 1. Introduction
1.1 The Waste Planning Authorities of the South East of England comprise the following authorities: Bracknell Forest Council Brighton & Hove Council Buckinghamshire County Council Appendix East Sussex County Council Hampshire County Council (incorporating Southampton City, Portsmouth City and New Forest National Park Waste Planning Authorities) Isle of Wight Council Kent County Council Medway Council Milton Keynes Council Oxfordshire County Council Reading Council Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead Slough Council South Downs National Park Authority Surrey County Council West Berkshire Council West Sussex County Council Wokingham Council
1.2 These authorities are each responsible for planning for sustainable waste management in their areas and in particular for the preparation of waste local plans. A waste local plan can cover the area of a single waste planning authority or a larger area administered by more than one waste planning authority where they decide to act together.
1.3 Section 110 of the Localism Act sets out a duty to cooperate in relation to planning of sustainable development, under which planning authorities are required to engage constructively, actively, and on an ongoing basis in any process where there are cross- boundary issues or impacts. This includes the preparation of development plan documents so far as relating to a “strategic matter” such as waste management. This duty to cooperate therefore applies to the preparation of waste local plans.
1.4 In addition, the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) refers to planning authorities having a duty to cooperate on planning issues that cross administrative boundaries, particularly those which relate to strategic priorities defined in paragraph 156 which includes waste management infrastructure. The NPPF expects local planning authorities “to demonstrate evidence of having effectively cooperated to plan for issues with cross- boundary impacts” (paragraph 181). The ‘tests of soundness' (paragraph 182) also require planning authorities to work with their neighbours: to be “positively prepared” a plan should seek to meet “unmet requirements from neighbouring authorities where it is reasonable to do so”; and to be “effective” a plan should be “based on effective joint working on cross- boundary strategic priorities”.
1 Annual Monitoring Report 2013-14 Kent County Council 95 Appendix
2. Purpose
2.1 The purpose of this Memorandum is to underpin effective cooperation and collaboration
between the Waste Planning Authorities of the South East of England in addressing D: strategic cross-boundary issues that relate to planning for waste management.
Duty 2.2 It sets out matters of agreement, reflecting the spirit of co-operation between the Parties to the Memorandum. It is, however, not intended to be legally binding or to create legal rights.
3. Parties to
3.1 The Memorandum is agreed by the following Councils: (to be completed as agreements are Co-operate confirmed).
4. Aims
4.1 The memorandum has the following broad aims: to ensure that planned provision for waste management in the South East of England is co-ordinated, as far as is possible, whilst recognising that provision by waste industry is based on commercial considerations; and to ensure that the approach to waste planning throughout the South East is consistent between authorities.
5. Limitations
5.1 The Parties to the Memorandum recognise that there will not always be full agreement with respect to all of the issues on which they have a duty to cooperate. For the avoidance of doubt, this Memorandum shall not fetter the discretion of any of the Parties in relation to any of its statutory powers and duties, and is not intended to be legally binding.
5.2 The Parties recognise that for a majority of existing waste management facilities, there are no restrictions on the handling of waste that has arisen outside their authority area.
6. Background
6.1 The disposal of waste to land (both landfill and landraise) is at the bottom of the Waste Hierarchy as defined in the updated Planning Policy Statement 10: “Planning for Sustainable Waste Management” March 2011 (PPS10). It is the least desirable form of waste management in environmental terms.
6.2 PPS10 recognises that there will be a need for new waste management facilities and that these need to be planned for. It sets out key planning objectives for sustainable waste management (paragraph 3) which include that authorities should prepare planning strategies that: “help deliver sustainable development through driving waste management up the waste hierarchy, addressing waste as a resource and looking to disposal as the last option but one which must be adequately catered for”; “provide a framework in which communities take more responsibility for their own waste, and enable sufficient and timely provision of waste management facilities to meet the needs of their communities; and “help secure the recovery or disposal of waste … and enable waste to be disposed of in one of the nearest appropriate installations.
6.3 There will, however, continue to be a need for some landfill capacity to deal with residual waste in the South East, particularly in the short and medium term before new recycling and
2 96 Kent County Council Annual Monitoring Report 2013-14
treatment facilities are built and become operational.
6.4 Paragraph 263 of the Government Review of Waste Policy in England 2011 states that
Co-operate “there is the need for councils to work together and look at waste management needs across different waste streams and across administrative boundaries.” It further states that
to “There is no requirement for individual authorities to be self-sufficient in terms of waste infrastructure and transporting waste to existing infrastructure to deliver the best environmental solution should not be considered a barrier.”
Duty 6.5 PPS10 (paragraph 18) states that “waste planning authorities should be able to demonstrate how capacity equivalent to at least ten years of the annual rates set out in the RSS could be provided”. The South East Plan is no longer in place and so WPAs will D: assess the extent to which they will accommodate imported waste from outside their plan area. Net self-sufficiency is an approach by which one of the key planning objectives in PPS10 can be achieved, since it will demonstrate that the communities within the WPA areas are taking responsibility for the waste which they produce. In order to meet paragraph 18 of PPS10, there is therefore an aspiration to achieve net self-sufficiency within each waste planning area for the management of non-hazardous waste.
7. Agreement between the Parties Appendix 7.1 The Parties recognise that there will be a degree of cross-boundary movement of waste. In light of this the Parties will plan on the basis of net self-sufficiency which assumes that within each waste local plan area the planning authority or authorities will plan for the management of an amount of waste which is equivalent to the amount arising in that plan area. All parties accept that when using this principle to test policy, it may not be possible to meet this requirement in full, particularly for hazardous and other specialist waste streams.
7.2 In keeping with the principle of net self-sufficiency for each area, the Parties will plan on the basis that no provision has to be made in their waste local plans to meet the needs of any other authorities which are basing their waste policies on achieving the principle of net self- sufficiency.
7.4 There may be cases where some waste will not be planned to be managed within a waste plan area because of difficulty in delivering sufficient recovery or disposal capacity. Provision for unmet requirements from other authority areas may be included in a waste local plan, in line with paragraph 182 of the NPPF, but any provision for facilities to accommodate waste from other authorities that cannot or do not intend to achieve net self- sufficiency will be a matter for discussion and agreement between authorities and is outside the terms of this Memorandum.
7.5 The parties note that there may be some kinds of waste that cannot be managed within their own plan area, either in the short term or within the relevant plan period. These may include hazardous wastes and radioactive wastes. Where provision for the management of these wastes will be planned for in a different waste planning authority area, this will need to be considered between the relevant authorities.
The Parties will work together in the consideration of how to plan for the implications arising from the management of waste from London and any other authority areas that are not party to this Memorandum.
7.7 The Parties agree that the challenge to be addressed is to implement the waste hierarchy and to enable better, more sustainable, ways of dealing with waste to reduce the current dependence on landfill.
7.8 The Parties agree to continue to positively plan to meet any shortfalls in recovery and
3 Annual Monitoring Report 2013-14 Kent County Council 97 Appendix
disposal capacity in their areas and to enable the delivery of new facilities. This includes making appropriate provision in their local plans, including, as required, the allocation of sites for new recycling and other recovery facilities.
D: 7.9 The Parties recognise that private sector businesses (and, therefore, commercial
considerations) will determine whether new merchant waste management recycling and Duty treatment facilities will be built and what types of technology will be used.
8. Actions and Activities
to 8.1 The Parties to this Memorandum will continue to share knowledge and information relevant
to strategic cross-boundary issues relating to waste planning including the matters set out Co-operate in the Agreement in Section 7.
8.2 The Parties will seek to ensure that the matters in the Agreement are reflected in the waste local plans that they prepare (including, in the case of unitary authorities, any local plans that include waste policies); this includes the allocation of sites.
8.3 The Parties will take account of the matters in the Agreement in the consideration of planning applications for waste management.
8.4 The Parties will continue to liaise with each other in relation to the general matters set out in the Agreement, in particular, the implications of the decline in permitted landfill capacity in the region.
9. Liaison
9.1 Appropriate officers of each Party to this Memorandum will liaise formally through the South East Waste Planning Advisory Group (SEWPAG) which normally meets four times a year. As appropriate, the Memorandum will be formally discussed at SEWPAG meetings and any decisions and actions relating to it will be recorded in the minutes.
9.2 In addition, there are other cross boundary groups within the South East of England (e.g. SE7). Any liaison on waste planning matters between Parties to this Memorandum within such groups will be undertaken with due regard to this Memorandum.
10. Timescale
10.1 The Memorandum of Understanding is for a three-year period to December 2016.
10.2 It will be reviewed annually by the Parties to establish how effective it has been and whether any changes are required. The results of the review will be reported at SEWPAG meetings and recorded in the minutes.
